Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that is transforming computing, IoT devices like smart appliances, wearables, and industrial sensors are creating a vast network of interconnected devices that can communicate and share data. By integrating smart devices, cloud computing, and real-time data analytics, IoT enhances patient care, reduces hospital admissions, and enables proactive disease management. This connectivity has the potential to make our lives more efficient and convenient, but also raises concerns about privacy and security. IoT has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, particularly emphasizing remote patient monitoring (RPM). This paper explores the vast potential of IoT technologies within RPM, highlighting various applications, benefits, challenges, and future directions. We review existing literature, current technologies, and case studies to demonstrate how IoT can enhance patient care, improve healthcare delivery, and reduce costs. Also examines the technological framework of IoT-enabled healthcare solutions.
